TITLE: Letting the fire burn bright

It takes three things for a fire to burn. Oxygen, fuel and heat.
Oxygen is spending time with God and trusting Him-even when you can’t tell that He’s there. Spending time with God is as crucial to life as breathing.
Fuel is reading God’s Word-if you don’t have a foundation in it, then you can fall away easily when you get put under pressure or faced with a difficult decision.
And last, heat is the Holy Spirit putting a passion in your heart and allowing that to grow in you, falling more and more in love with God by the day.

All these things are necessary to allow the fire to burn brightly in You and be a sign to tramps that they can come to the fire and finally find a home, and a warning to the enemy that he’s in serious trouble because wherever you tread, God IS gonna tread with you.

A good message in a little package. Expanding it might work, with what happens if one element is withheld.

Excellent read...I enjoyed your piece...It has great impact...Funny how God gifts us, and He inspires us to share in a few seconds or fifty chapters...Sometimes I find that God can turn a world around in a split second...Wondrous isn't He...Juanita Pittman-Brown

Well Hannah, you're the very last challenge entry on the list and I thought it was a great way to round things off. Definitely an excellent little devotional piece and I really thought the use of oxygen, fuel and heat was very, very good! With love, Deb

On the grammar side of things, I think you should have used semi-colons or commas to break up some the sentences instead of the dash (hyphen).
On the actual message, I loved it. I do agree with the others; it could have been a bit longer. But the very fact that I wanted to read more, should let you know how good it was.

God Bless!
Sincerely,
Dan Blankenship

Good example, as a Sunday school teacher I'm always looking for something short but memorable to share!

Creative and original. Reminds me of Jesus' parable of the seeds. Keep writing!
